Experimental visualizations of the works of the Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein.
Up until now I've mostly focused on the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus - the first text from Wittgenstein.
This is very much a (never-ending) work in progress though, so new applications & experiments are likely to appear every now and then.
